The call for project proposals for the third stage of Ukraine Recovery Program finished: communities filed 543 applications, as reported by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development (source: Ukrinform).

It notes, “235 communities have applied for the program with the support of the European Investment Bank, while the aggregate amount of projects made up 19.27 billion UAH”.

However, over 50% of submitted applications deal with the replacement of communal networks in communities. Another third are healthcare projects. There were also 20 proposals for housing projects for internally displaced Ukrainians.

Most of the project proposals were received from Lviv, Odesa, Kyiv, Cherkasy, Poltava, and Dnipro regions.

As reported, after the deadline the applications will be assessed by regional military administrations and a rating list will be compiled.

The projects will be implemented via the DREAM reconstruction management ecosystem which automates project selection and monitoring.

As reported, the call for applications for the third stage of the Ukraine Recovery Program started in early January. The program budget makes up 100 million EUR.

The €200 million Emergency Credit Facility for Recovery of Ukraine and The €340 million Recovery Program are two framework loan agreements between the EIB and Ukraine signed in 2014 and 2020 respectively. Both agreements are aimed to enable local governments to rebuild social infrastructure and to improve the living conditions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and their host communities. Reconstruction projects are fully managed by local governments.
